• Zinédine Zidane has a full complement to choose from following the return from injury of Cristiano Ronaldo and Dani Carvajal, both of whom appear certain to start.

• Emre Can has been out since March with a back injury, but took a full part in Monday's training session at Anfield. James Milner is likely to feature after recovering from a muscle strain, while Trent Alexander-Arnold, 19, will become the club's youngest player in a European Cup final if he starts.
